Complete filmography

The son of director and screenwriter Michel Audiard, Jacques Audiard planned on becoming a teacher, but after abandoning his arts degree, he began working in the cinema as an editor. At the beginning of the eighties, he wrote the scripts for “Reveillon chez Bob!”, “Deadly Circuit,” and “Frequence Meurtre.”

He moved into directing in 1994 with “See How They Fall,” a dark road movie that brought together two men with absolutely nothing in common, played by Mathieu Kassovitz and Jean-Louis Trintignant. The film won the César for Best Debut Feature. Two years later, the filmmaker once again worked with Kassovitz in his second feature, “A Self-Made Hero” (Best Screenplay Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival). It would be five years before he made his next film, “Read My Lips,” a love story in a noir thriller mode, starring Emmanuelle Devos and Vincent Cassel. It earned Audiard a César for Best Screenplay and Devos the Best Actress award.

Jacques Audiard then set out to remake “Fingers” by James Toback. “The Beat My Heart Skipped” was released in 2005. In it, Romain Duris is torn between his artistic aspirations and the brutal reality of the shady real estate world in which he operates. The film won no less than eight Césars, including Best Director and Best Film. Audiard is currently writing his new project, “Le Prophète,” which recounts the criminal rise to power of a young North African living in the projects.
